Sounds good other than the OSB.  You need good, old fashioned plywood: 5/8 or 3/4"

I did my cab a simliar way with 3/4".

you don't think the OSB will be strong enough? 

what if instead of that, i'd bolt the monitor to two 1x4 pine boards (one across top and one across the bottom) and then bolt those to the cabinet instead?

I'd consider paigeoliver's proper frame first.  Plan B for me would be plywood.  I wouldn't do 1x wood with that kind of weight.  You might save a few bucks but have stuff break, get hurt in the process.

You could also look for a smaller TV like a 27 on craigslist and build a shelf instead of de-casing and save some $ and time that way.  I see TVs that can be haggled down to like $10 all the time.  People just want to get rid of them.

yeah, i want it to be done right...i just have no money to spend on it right now.  i was hoping to get it done with crap i had lying around the house.  I don't want a smaller TV, i just pulled a 26" tv out of the cabinet so i could install this 32".

In any project you get to pick two:

* cost
* quality
* time
If you are looking for high quality and low cost, you are going to have to take your time scrounging for stuff that will make it solid.  You might be able to use some pallet wood or something stronger and harder than pine to build a frame out of.  Pine might work if you use ample construction adhesive to connect it to the tube, it might not.
